Inside Out tech rehearsal

Harvard-Epworth United Methodist Church, 3 - 15 - 12, 5:30 - 8:30 PM

**Victor, Rick, Chris (scribe), Brad, Dev, and Scott in attendance.

**as people are arriving and getting settled, Brad "loans" Scott a guitar with a pickup.

**once equipment is moved inside and everyone is gathered, the group takes a moment to observe its "beginning" in the space.

**the first question to be addressed is how best to use the space for the group's particular style of performance. speakers and seats are placed (with adjustments made), and the board is set up.

**some extended soundchecking, including circulations with three, four, five and six people. there is a small discrepancy between the height of the group's temporary stools and the speakers that is causing acoustical difficulty for some of the players.

**a couple pieces: Eye of the Needle and Austurias.

**the group begins tearing down around what would be the time of the theoretical end of a performance. with some questions as to the storage of equipment, everything is cleaned up only a little after 8:00.

**Dev gives some advice for making phone calls to promotional contacts, before the group leaves off. there is no sign of the group that follows us in the space at 8:30.
